Sell your old games and make some money.

Video games can be addictive. Not only is it difficult to stop playing a game once you are into it, it can also be hard to stop buying new games once you are finished with older games. You may wonder how you can afford to keep buying new ones. The most affordable solution is to sell your older PS3 games. Fortunately there are a number of places you can sell your old PS3 games.

Instructions

    • 1

      List your PS3 games on free online classifieds sites. Place your ad under the listings for your community and under the section that best describes what you are selling. This may be "buy and sell," "electronics," and/or "video and computer games." You can post the games you have and the price you want for them.

      Put your games up for sale on an auction site. You can sell your games together or one-by-one. Auction sites may or may not have a "buy it now" option. The key to using this kind of site is setting the price low enough to attract attention, but not so low that you end up selling the games for less money than you're willing to accept.

      Video game players' forums can also be used to advertise the games you hope to sell. Check the forums for a "for sale" listing and check posts related to the games you would like to sell. Post an ad for your games along with your contact email.

      Bring your games to a used video game store. Some stores may offer some money for your games, whereas most will allow you to trade in the games for store credit.

Tips & Warnings

  • Check the cost to list on an auction site before deciding on a price for your used games.

  • It is best to set up a special email account for receiving and responding to emails related to your ads. These ads can generate a lot of spam as well as phishing scams.
